So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

This is a war time President. Captain Bone Spurs is a draft dodging pedophile causing yet another distraction. Any US blood lost is on his hands!

SCHIFF: Are you saying it's just fortuitous that $143m went to a subcontractor that you worked w/ extensively as gov of SD?

KRISTI NOEM: I had no choosing of contractors.

S: Can you state for record that you or Lewandowski had no communication with any agency involved?

N: To best of my knowledge

Rep. Ted Lieu says there is “ample evidence” in the full Epstein files allegations against Donald Trump and children. “This is all on videotape.”

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Today in Iran…

Why would Kash Patel do this? Explain it to me like I’m five.

*Greens leapfrog Labour into second place*

RefUK 23% (-1)
GRN 21% (+4)
LAB 16%(-2)
CON 16%(-2)
LDEM 14%(nc),

Pollster note: This is the highest we've had the Greens, the first time we've had them in second

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

So he's saying that he knew Israel was going to attack Iran and he believed Iran would retaliate by attacking US bases, so we had to strike first since Israel was going to get US forces attacked.

This war will do nothing to help - and will very likely make things worse - when it comes to the biggest challenges we face at home.

Trump or his wealthy friends won’t pay the price. It will fall on service members and their families, on taxpayers, and on working Americans already stretched thin.

Trump: "Finally, we honor one more American soldier, a fallen warria of world. Of wars. And really, terra.”

Trump looks and sounds absolutely depleted today. He's so weak.

He would hate if you shared these photos taken earlier with your followers.

He originally said was going to cost $200 million. Then he said $250 million. Then $300 million. But now it's going to come in under budget at $400 million.

I predict this man has a very bright future.

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Congratulations, pal.

Today would be a good day for chickenshit Republican lawmakers to do something. But, they aren’t afraid of Donald Trump; they are JUST LIKE HIM.

Yesterday we had our biggest canvass launch of the cycle at Sketchbook Brewing Co in Skokie, reminding our neighbors that early voting starts TODAY across IL-09!

Four U.S. soldiers have tragically fallen in Donald Trump's reckless, chaotic war with Iran.

California salutes the courage and enduring sacrifice of our service members and their loved ones.

But our Commander in Chief? Don't worry, he's focused on what really matters: himself.

Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling.

No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.
